On 14 March 2025, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) announced the imposition of provisional anti-dumping duties, from 14 March 2025 up to an including 13 September 2025, on other screws fully threaded with hexagon heads and other bolts with hexagon heads excluding bolt ends, screw studs and screw studding, classifiable under tariff subheadings 7318.15.39 and 7318.15.43 respectively, originating in or imported from the People’s Republic of China.
The anti-dumping duty on tariff subheading 7318.15.39 “Other screws, fully threaded with hexagon heads (excluding those of stainless steel)” is 166.07%; and on tariff subheading 7318.15.43 “Other bolts (excluding bolt ends, screw studs and screw studding) with hexagon heads” is 17.65%.
The reasoning for the imposition of the anti-dumping duties is contained in the International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (ITAC) Report No. 745.
